PUTPOSP is to, 111.4.0 the Canadian people more aware of the cardiovascular diseases and what can be done about them. Most of us now know that these .0045,,es take more than a .million, American lives annually. The. Heart Foundations are more than ever involved with gaining new control against these killing .and crippling diseases which include not only heart attack but also stroke, heart failure, inborn heart defects,' high blood pressure and many other heart and circulatgry eietnents. Stroke is particularly significant because it now account for aboutn 15 thousand deaths annually and for an enormous amount of disability. We are familiar with its crippling effects, *We have seen how it can suddenly disrupt family life and, without warning, impose tremendous economic burdens. Nevertheless, the outlook for the stroke victim is far from hopeless. We are making real progress in stroke prevention, in treatment and in rehabilitation, Intensive research — supported in part by your Heart Fund dollars — has significantly changed the picture. Many victims of stroke recover and enjoy a second chance at life, thanks to new techniques for treating stroke more successfully and for preventing or minimizing crippling after-effects. But the general public still is pot sufficiently aware of these facts. Therefore, let me you that there is effective treatment. that. there is a growing rate of recovery, and. that there are ways, too, of reducing the risk of suffering a stroke, What is "a .Stroke?" A stroke is an accident that occurs when, the flow of blood' carrying food and oxygen to the brain is interrupted at some point in its course. The interruption frequently is caused by a clot resulting from hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) which feed the brain, Fatty substances accumulate ip the walls of the blood vessels, causing the channels which carry blood to become roughened and narrowed. Normal blood substances tend to adhere to this roughened surface and to form clots. If large enough, a clot may block passage of blood in a neck artery serving the brain, Or a fragment of clot may break off and be carried to another narrower vessel leading to or in the brain, causing similar blockage. Or blood flow can be interrupted by a hemorrhage inside the brain caused by rupturing of a diseased blood vessel. When interruption of blood supply causes a stroke, injury to some nerve cells results. Cells thus damaged cannot send messages to the parts of the body they control, Sometimes the damage produces paralysis of an arm or leg, sometimes interferes. with the Ability to speak, -the ability to move the muscles of the face, etc„. depending .upon which cells have been affeCted. What Happens. In $4pke? When a stroke is severe becau se laran't damage is extensive, the victim can become paralyzed in. one or more He might lose his ability to remember, to co-ordinate, to speak and even to communicate in any other way with his What Can Be Done About Stroke? Today a great deal can be done about stroke, thanks to new knowledge developed through medical research. Same stroke victims return to normal after relatively short periods of treatment. Others might be left with varying degrees of paralysis or of speech or memory impediments for longer periods. But most of the latter, too, can recover sufficiently to return to gainful, productive life. After examination and clinical tests, the family physician can turn to an assortment of drugs, depending upon his view of the patient's needs. He might choose to use a drug that slows blood-coagula- tion with the hope,of preventing the formation of additional clots. fie might choose surgery in arteries that are •seriously narrowed by atherosclerosis,. When the patient's condition permits, the physician today else can prescribe a course of therapy to repair damage that might have been done to the muscular or nervous system. Can siroke Be Prevented? Physielans have found that many of the drugs and techniques used to prevent recurrence of stroke can be used to prevent or delay an initial cerebral accident if symptoms are discovered in time. Regular physical examinations and diagnostic tests can sornAimes help the physician to recognize a stroke-prone patient, In prescribing treatment, he might also recommend diet changes and other adjustments in living habits to reduce a growing risk of atherosclerosis. Medical science has made important gains in the past 15 years in its search for ways to control and guard against cerebrovascular disease. Today thousands of stroke victims are saved from death and crippling each year. But more can and must be done through expanded medical research and community education.
